We have just returned from 2 weeks in Italy. I used Trip Advisor extensively to select small family run B&Bs for our trip.

We stayed for 3 nights at Al Mercato in Siena - near Florence, in Tuscany, and would definitely recommend it to others. It is ideally located, just off the main square with a view over the market square. They have great room options and a super restaurant right next door.

The room was spacious, air conditioned with great windows and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom had a super shower - even for tall visitors to Italy. The breakfast was just outside our door, served by a lovely young student and family member. We really enjoyed the chance to get to know a 'local' and hear about real life in Siena, Italy!

We would highly recommend this B&B for couples or families travelling to the old world of Siena in Tuscany, Italy!

Room Tip: Ask for a room overlooking the market square!

The Al Mercato B&B is a wonderful little place, a stone's throw away from the Campo. Very clean, nice rooms, modern, fully functioning bathrooms, modest breakfast (the Italian way!)The bonus is the restaurant "La Finestra", at the bottom of the building on the Mercato-side, run by the same family. It serves excellent food, and the guests of the B&B get a discount. We have stayed at Al Mercato several times, and had many a delicious meal at La Finestra. For us there is no better place to be in Siena.Ellen & Jan NasGroesbeek, The Netherlands

If you have never been to Sienna- and you are driving a car - be warned this hotel is NOT easy to locate and very difficult to drive to if you want to drop off your luggage. I highly recommend you get exact details of the location before arriving. On the hotels website it deceptively states "The historic centre is close to traffic and therefore we will take care of your car by assigning you a parking space and park and ride service, all included in the price."However you will be told you can park in a parking lot for 1.60 euros per hour that is a bit of a walk away. Or you can park outside the city walls for 1.00 euros per hour, again a bit of a walk.The room was clean, quiet and comfortable, a/c and internet. Breakfast was very basic, nothing special. The price of room was fair and very close to the campo. I would stay here agian but would plan better for the driving/parking situation.

Went to Siena for the day & had a delicious lunch for 7. We were a little late but they were extremely accommodating. Food wine was enjoyed by all. The cheese plater with different jellies is out of this world. 2 years in a row & they should get 6 stars ! I can't wait to book the b&b for 2 days when they do the Palio !!!

I stayed at "B&B Al Mercato" just one night. It's very comfortable, clean and familiar, just few steps away from Piazza del Campo (about 20m). The owners manage also a restaurant, which is besides the B&B. I enjoyed a typical Tuscan dinner, also thanks to the kindness of Eugenio and Ledda (the son of the owners and his girlfriend). Well-recommended.

Al Mercato B&B is located in the historic center of Siena, just a few steps from Piazza del Campo and the Duomo, in an ancient palace of the XIIth century. The couple Fabio and Carla have personally followed the recent restoration of the residence, executed with the total respect of the original structural features of the ancient palace. In our rooms, equipped with private bathroom with shower, you will also find the air conditioning and the free Wi-Fi. The windows open onto the picturesque Piazza del Mercato with a beautiful view of the Palazzo Pubblico and the Torre del Mangia. The Single economy room has the window on via Giovanni Duprè. Buffet breakfast is served every morning in the dedicated room and it is both italian and continental style. At our restaurant "La Finestra" in the Piazza del Mercato, you will find a typical Sienese menu at a special price. Possibility of half or full board. Free parking available 2 km from the B&B connected with piazza del Mercato with bus 54 (every 15 minutes), or the Parking IL CAMPO in via di Fontanella just 4 minutes walking form the B&B, 25euro for 24 hours....more less
